OK, so Karsta and I are suffering dropped TS packets. I know for sure that my DVB-T signal is not perfect so it is likely to occasionally lose some TS packets (freeview in the UK is susceptible to all sorts of interference from cars, motorbikes, DECT, etc) however, saying there is nothing that we can do about this because you don't have a *perfect* DVB signal surely isn't the right answer! My TV copes perfectly well with dropped packets and doesn't go out of sync, as does my freeview box. Surely if some TS packets are dropped this shouldn't result in a loss of sync, the system should resync the audio and continue as before?? It can't be right to say, well we lost some data, so we can't recover until you change channels up and down, or fastforward/rewind by 1 minute!

I have spent the last 2 weeks trying different combinations, playing with my kernel settings, trying USB DVB-T devices rather than the PCI and it makes absolutely no difference. The TS continuity errors do not go away so I am convinced it is simply that DVB-T is not as robust as other signals such as DVB-S or DVB-C. However, VDR should be able to cope and resync with lost data.
